Best detox book in the world

I was turned onto this book by a friend who insisted I try a detox for 30 days. It was very difficult at first, but this book made it easy to follow and there were helpful suggestions, easy recipes and success stories inside. This book became a "bible" of sorts while I was detoxing. I probably read the book a total of six times front to back during the detox and it was a major boost, I lost about 15 lbs and looked amazing. My hair and skin glowed. It was a real eye opener to see what goes into your body really is fuel and how you use it is what you get out of it. I love this book.

Easy to Follow, A Little Simplistic

I followed Jane Scrivner's detox program for one month last fall and was impressed with the results. I really did feel different by the end of the month. I would definitely do it again. The book was easy to understand and the program was easy to follow. The only thing that I did not like about this book was that it seemed to be written for morons. The book did not explain any of the basic science behind the program. It left me with lots of questions about why I was to eat certain foods and not others. I had to use other health manuals that I happened to already own to figure out why the author was suggesting certain things. I would have preferred to have more information directly in the book. The author seemed to assume that people reading the book would not understand simple nutritional information, so she did not even bother to explain it at all. I found that a little insulting. Also, I found the "testimonials" in the book a little unbelievable. They just seemed fictional. If you can get past all that, you will find a detox program that will change your immediate health and hopefully help you develop better overall habbits for an improved lifestyle.

Highly Recommended - Total Clean Out

I decided to give the DETOX another go, after trying it for a maximum of 4 days about two years ago. I completed the 30 day detox about 3 weeks ago with the help of a colleague and it was the best feeling my body has ever experienced in a long time. I have totally given up smoking - a lot easier when on the detox programme as the cravings stop within the first week. I have also cut back on my consumption of meat and think twice about eating the wrong type of foods. I still have the cold showers in the mornings - a brilliant way to "wake up" and start every day with lemon and hot water. In fact, my other colleagues are going to do the detox next month - so not only does it show on the inside - it must also show on the outside! All I can say is "Give it a go" - you'll love the result!

Cure for Yuppie Flu

I was diagnosed with yuppie flu and was tired all day long, even though I tried to sleep at least 12 hours a day. Eventually I was booked off sick and slept for six weeks. Every Friday evening I had to go to hospital for injections. My muscles ached and got stiff, even though I didn't excercise, because my doctor advised me not to walk more than 500 kilometres a day. Eventually I was told that they could do nothing more for me and that the virus had to work itself out. Then I discovered this book. After six weeks I had lost 12lbs and slept only three hours a night, because I was bursting with energy. I was cured! Every now and then when I have a relapse, I go one the diet again for two weeks and I'm well again. This book is truly something you can't live without, well I can't.

ten out of ten

Jane Scrivner's book, detox yourself has changed my life. I am now 27 years old and up until about eighteen months ago I was overweight and had eczema and hay fever quite badly. After reading the book I decided that I would complete the thirty days as the author suggested and I have never looked back. I was not at all prepared for how marvelous I started to feel and by the time the thirty days was over, not only had I lost about 8lbs, I had no allergy symptoms. Now I am a whopping 50lbs lighter and I have more energy than I ever dreamed possible. This book is not a faddy diet, it's a new way of life that leaves you wanting to tell other people about it
